Maritime Piracy: A Collection of 18th-century British Texts

Primary tabs

Collections

Comprised of digital editions of piratical texts originally published in eighteenth-century Britain, the collection provides access to out-of-print works about or related to maritime piracy. The collection of both fiction and non-fiction is currently in process and includes Daniel Defoe's 1720 novel Captain Singleton.
The collection is made possible by http://www.18thconnect.org through its Typewrite and Crowd-Source Correction projects, as well as a John C. Hodges Research Award from English Department at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
